In the face of ridicule and cynicism from the outside world.

Chelsea responded on the pitch!

2 to 1!

Not only did Chelsea win for the first time this season, but they also knocked down the unbeatable Manchester City!

Roberto Mancini was in a smug start and burst out of the coaching area in the second minute to celebrate Balotelli's lightning strike, and around 12 minutes, the visitors fans sang and the Italians waved to them.

But apart from the first 20 minutes, Chelsea were in a strong position for the remainder of the game, shooting 16-7, 5-1 from corners and 22-11 from crosses, with the Blues dominating the Blues and 57.2 per cent to 42.8 per cent possession in the last 45 minutes, with Di Matteo's side pushing into the corner.

On 29 minutes, Di Matteo whispered a few words to Didier Drogba to inquire about the other's injuries, and one minute later, he called Juan Mata to the sidelines to set up his tactics.

Chelsea equalised in the 34th minute when former Manchester City winger Sturridge flicked past Klich and burst into the right side of the box to cross for an unmarked Mereles to volley home from eight yards!

Chelsea took the lead in the 82nd minute when Frank Lampard crossed the ball and Sturridge's shot from the right side of the box hit Lescott, who fired a powerful shot into the middle of the net.

The Blues won the civil war!

Finally exhaled and raised his eyebrows!

At the stake, Di Matteo made some changes as soon as he took over the team.

He first adjusted his high-post defensive strategy, and these Chelsea games have been pragmatic and shrinking the space between several lines.

Against Valencia, the Blues won by three goals with 34 per cent possession, while against Manchester City, there were not many chances.

Di Matteo said after the game: "We've found a way to press moderately, the players feel comfortable, between our lines there is less space and the team has been defending well lately. ”

Chelsea have conceded just one goal against Manchester City in their last four games in all competitions, and the defence has improved significantly from the start of the season.

After stepping through the ghost gate, Di Matteo can continue to challenge the world with confidence, and shut up Neville, Nasri and other Manchester United and Manchester City people together.

Di Matteo said: 'You can search the internet and it's all criticism of Chelsea, criticism of the players. To say that our players are not good, to say that these players are not competitive. But the fact that we won away at Newcastle, we won against Valencia to top the group, and we won the league leaders shows that these players can get through it and Chelsea are competitive! ”

Chelsea are certainly competitive because they are not yet halfway through the league.

At the same time, the other title contenders now have to thank Chelsea, and who can beat the league leaders and let the leaders drop points will naturally be happy to see what other teams will see.

With 15 league rounds over, the competition for the top of the Premier League table has become fierce.

Manchester City 37 points.

Liverpool 36 points.

Manchester United 35 points.

Chelsea 31 points.

Arsenal 29 points.

Even Chelsea are only six points away from Manchester City!

The title race for the Premier League this season seems to have entered a pattern of chaos in the world!

Fleet Street is the most excited, the suspense of the Premier League is not like the past two seasons, Liverpool has established a big advantage in the middle of the season, although it will not kill the suspense of the league title, but it also makes people foresee the future trend, people are looking forward to Liverpool's Waterloo, but that did not happen.

This season is well, and the battle for supremacy is starting again!

For the other giants, the Premier League's devil's schedule hasn't started yet, but Liverpool's have already started as they head to the Club World Cup.

Liverpool spent five days in Asia, where the Japanese prime minister defeated Al Sadd with a relatively conservative lineup, and then sent their strongest squad to beat Santos in the final to win the title!

This attrition is very detrimental for Liverpool.

In the 16th round of the league, Manchester City will host Arsenal, who have had a good record recently, which makes Fleet Street think that Manchester City's leading position may not be guaranteed!

If Manchester City fail to win Arsenal and Liverpool win again, then the Premier League leaders will change hands.

However, Chelsea, who played first, did not continue the form of four wins in all competitions, and probably the Premier League teams have also woken up: Chelsea is not a reservoir dog, anyone can swing a stick and play around.

It's better to be humble and cautious when facing a strong team.

Wigan Athletic held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at home.

While opponents are also starting to shrink their defence and focus on defence, Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea's ability to play positional battles remains a shortcoming.

He was the opposite of Boas, the Portuguese marshal was too aggressive, he was too pragmatic.

Manchester United won 2-0 away at Queens Park Rangers, and since the heavy defeats to Manchester City and Liverpool, Manchester United has exploded into amazing combat power under the control of Ferguson, and the consistency of the form is terrifying!

Liverpool visited Villa Park, returned to England with the excitement of winning the Club World Cup, Liverpool was in good shape, although it was a difficult battle, but with Qin Xiong's world wave outside the penalty area and Gerrard's goal in the corner kick attack, Liverpool won Aston Villa 2:0 away.

When it came to the final game of this round of the league, the finale began.

Manchester City at home vs Arsenal!

In this thrilling head-to-head battle, both players created plenty of good chances to score, but the end result was Silva's golden goal to help the Blues pull out of the quagmire and continue to soar in the league table!

Manchester City won Arsenal 1-0 at home!

Arsenal's leading goalscorer Robin van Persie, who has been on a hot pitch this season, will not be able to salvage Arsenal's defeat in this game.

He's the focus on the pitch, and maybe even the Premier League right now.

Because many clubs want Van Persie to score consistently, and with Van Persie at Arsenal, he is not as unavailable as other stars.

Just as the Manchester City fans shortly after the start of the game, the Blue Moon fans on the sidelines sang songs about Van Persie and mocking Arsenal as if they had agreed in advance: "Van Persie is ours, you are just our satellite club, Van Persie is ours"

Roberto Mancini, who won the powerful civil war, also fell into the trap after the game and started Van Persie's idea.

'There's no doubt that Robin van Persie is unbeatable, his role is as important to Sergio Aguero as he is to our team, and his performances have been fantastic lately, scoring all sorts of unbeatable goals.

And the Manchester City players also added fuel to the fire, as if to make a friendly call to Van Persie.

Richards, the defender, said: "Van Persie is simply too important, his 33 goals this year are amazing. If Arsenal can keep Robin van Persie at all times, then they will have any hope of confronting for the title. ”

"I'm not willing to trade him for any of our strikers, but it's great that he's playing for us," said Lescott. We welcome any world-class player and Robin van Persie is one of them, and he is the biggest threat to this Arsenal team at the moment. ”

Arsene Wenger is expected to be furious after hearing the Manchester City manager's remarks, and at the same time hate Manchester City to the core. (To be continued.) )
